COVID-19 vaccine: what you need to know
Healthwatch England has put together what you need to know about the COVID-19 vaccination programme, including how you will know when it's your turn, where to go, and why it's important.
Scams
Criminals are taking advantage of the COVID-19 vaccine rollout using a convincing scam text message to steal personal and financial details.
The text contains a link that leads to a convincing fake NHS website with an application form which asks for your bank/card details in order to check your identity. You can read more information about this on the Which? Consumer website.
Whilst the NHS may contact you by text message you will never be asked to give personal or payment details – the vaccination is free.
Please warn your family and friends to be vigilant.
